Much like they have done since their start in 2011 at NorthWest Crossing Farmers Market, the Bontà team makes its own "base" at its dairy creamery on Wilson Avenue each day, using fresh pasteurized milk and cream.

When it comes to "dealer's choice," the Dulce de Leche with Sea Salt takes the hand. It's crafted daily by reducing milk, cream and sugar for nine hours. Other popular flavors are the Vanilla Bourbon Pecan made with Oregon Spirit Distillers Bourbon, Brown Butter Chocolate, Stracciatella (a sweet cream gelato with Theo 70% dark chocolate folded in) and Peanut Butter with Theo Fudge.

You can purchase your pints at stores throughout the Northwest and locally at Newport Market, Whole Foods, Food4Less, CE Lovejoys, Market of Choice and Central Oregon Locavore, as well as the downtown retail shop that opened in 2015.
